New terminal combines ViaSat mobile satellite broadband and AeroSat antenna system
Passengers onboard aircraft equipped with the VMT-1560 enjoy true broadband access with connection speeds in the 768 kbps to 2 Mbps range, which is higher than any other in-flight broadband service provider. The service supports all familiar applications including e-mail, voice-over-IP (VoIP), web browsing, and VPN for an office-in-the-sky experience. It also supports a premium TV service that allows passengers to access content, such as broadcast television and movies, from their home or office media servers.
The complete system includes the antenna, radome, attachment ring, antenna control unit, high power transceiver, and integrated modem/router. Customers can use the system to connect to ViaSat’s growing Ku-band mobile broadband satellite network. With networks already serving aviation and maritime customers over North America, the Caribbean, the North Atlantic, and Europe, ViaSat is working with maritime service provider KVH Industries to expand the network, for both airborne and maritime broadband services, to near global coverage by the end of 2009.
